Piaggio Ziphoon Project

As North says there is a small amount of modification to the mounts, but was very very slight. We're going to make it run on the original zip loom, there's been a few parts needed to be added to the Zip but everything has been put in properly so there's not a cable tie in site. :lol:

Was going to take it out for it's first road run last night, but it got late and unfortunately had a couple of minor problems. Mixed with the fact it's not insured we decided to call it a day, hopefully the final push will be made over the weekend. :beg:

We put most of it back together last night and boy, does it look a sleeper! Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to putting the original back wheel on yet so from the back end it does look like a 125, but it looks mean! As for how the rest of it looks, shed would be a great way to put it! But will definitely be a sleeper and a half. :grin:

 

i dont think u can use the zip loom mate the wires are thinner than the 1's on a 125 loom

 

Yeah we knew there was a lot of problems but would of liked to attempt to make it run correctly from the original loom. Not really had any time to look at it lately, I think the loom will be being swapped soon - despite the numerous suggestions from people I'm not going to let it be just another bodge.

Depending on money I might leave it off the road for the rest of the month and get some paint on it too.

 

Not a massive update but the Typhoon loom got put on tonight! :cheers: There's now fully functioning lights, indicators etc so happy about that. Got a little late tonight so decided to call it a day, need some new bulbs and I snapped the red plastic cover over the rear light as it was glued on.

The thing is going to look a complete scrapper Wednesday, but all goes well it should be together and on road! Worry about the wheels turning first and how it looks second. :blush:

Hopefully next update will have pictures and hopefully a couple of videos.

 

have u wired the typh loom into the clocks yet thats suposed to be quite long

 

All done and dusted mate! :thumbsup: Mate come round last night and did the wiring, didn't take him too long at all. Everything is working as it should the only thing we've lost at the moment is warning lights and speedo light but we're going to look into that later.

Couple of pictures going up at the bottom of the first post, looks a shed but goes well! :grin:

 

u done a good job it dont look that bad once the paints done should be live and i think u should lose that mudguard lol

 

A lot of it to be honest was my mate, I can't take much credit really haha. But I'm glad it's been done how it has and I know it's all been done properly. Paint as you say needs doing, still deciding on a colour scheme to be honest, fancy another stealth matte black scoot. :whistle:

Really, really need an exhaust though would love terro's malossi but just outside the price range at the minute! :bye: Might do the paint next and don't worry the mudguard will definitely be off! :grin:

 

Slight update at the bottom of the first page, decided to invest in some paint and see how it goes!

 

Wheels done! Looks quite smart I think they'll look good when on, going to respray the rear panel as the original idea didn't come out as well as I wanted praying that my exhaust arrives tomorrow!

 

what pipe u gettin?

 

It's just a Leo Vince but it's a huge improvement on my FUBAR standard.

 

Yeah looks alright! Still feeling sour about the front panel if I'm honest but oh well, nothing that can't be fixed.

 

u know what u need to do take them plastic cover things off the fork legs

 

I was going to do that today but unfortunately..

ITS SOLD!

Dum dum dum dum dummmmmmmm! :bye: Was evil and great fun to ride but unfortunately got to fund my SIA badge and realised that I need to stop kidding my self and I need a Typhoon! :grin:

 

lol

 

Honestly mate I'm terrible, can't keep anything! Got my eye on a mates Typhoon that he might be selling soon though so there'll probably be another thread up haha. :grin:

 

think i saw this on swapz

 

Yeah was on there, site's down at the minute though so can't take it off haha. Was offered a Runner 172 but was a bit too far & needed some cash really.
